Kindly be corrected, women are no minority in any part of the world. They are politically oppressed not a minority. A minority signifies numbers & women are usually more populated and available politically. Unfortunately, part of those who oppress and suppress women are women themselves. Because they don’t support one anothet in good deeds.
I agree that there will always be minorities, but saner climes have tactically doused the tension by creating affirmative action and allowing the so called minorities to take significant political offices, like Obama and Kamala Harris did for Black, Indian and Female America. The Scandinavians in Europe have even taken in further. Asia isn’t left out too. Why are we backwards in Nigeria, because Rwanda has set the pace.
So, if we have a culture of silencing the minority in Nigeria, should we encourage this backward culture with a muslim/muslim ticket! I don’t just get the logic?! Is it more important to win elections than to unite a VERY DIVIDED NIGERIA?!
If Tinubu is as popular as they lie he is, his influence should rub off on his vice, just like Buhari rubbed off on Osinbajo. But we lie and overhype things in these parts and claim we serve God.

You're welcome. Like i said, it is the sad reality that we face and have almost always faced. There will always be minorities in the world and especially in Africa due mainly to the political setup by our colonialists. In different parts of the world, the women are a political minority for instance. In Nigeria, apart of the SouthWest(mostly Lagos) that is more liberal, you will hardly see people from the less dominant religion or tribe rule politically. You will not likely see a muslim governor in the SouthEast or SouthSouth. You will not likely see other tribes in government and in civil service like is common in the SouthWest. In fact, you even see people from other tribes parading as kings in SW.
So it is not a problem that started today or with this present government, although it became more pronounced.
It is not a relegation, but what has been for long. The North has had it muslim for very long and the northern christians have been largely a minority. Like i said, it would be foolish of Tinubu or any Southerner to pick a weakness politically. Politics is a game of numbers. Appointments is different, but going into elections, you sadly must consider numbers not sentiments.
The people you have mentioned are not strong politically. Dogara that cannot win his ward to return to Senate? Or the other appointees? Ishaku is largely unknown. Will you rather win Taraba or Bornu and the other KKK states as a politician?

Thanks for buttressing the fact that some Nigerians have been made 2nd class in their own country. This is the more reason why the rest of Nigeria MUST resist this systemic and deliberate agenda to expand the relegation of the Christian Nigeria politically.
Since Tinubu’s choice also has baggage, I am free to mention the following:
Babachir Lawal
Yakubu Dogara
Darius Ishaku

Like you said and know, northern Christians are unfortunately second class when it comes to elections, that's a serious reality we face. So it would be foolish of Tinubu or any Southerner to pick a weakness. Feel free to mention a strong northern Christian you will have picked if it was you or that you could advise anyone to pick.

So in your ‘pragmatism’, there are no competent Northern Christians or the Northern Christians are less competent than the Northern Moslems?
If the Northern Moslems will not vote for a Northern Christian regardless of competence doesn’t that not say a lot about their coexistence?
Have the Northern Christians not by your ‘ ‘pragmatism’ resigned to being 2nd class Nigerians behind their Moslem Northerners
Your argument is a bit lackluster IMO. Just like minorities in rascist environments find it herculean to climb the political or social ladder, I believe that is what has become the fate of Northern Christians by choice.

Image123:
That's why Christians are not the muslim North. We're not sentimental, dogmatic or emotional. We're pragmatic in our choice. Good governance has shown to have nothing to do with being a professing Christian or whatever religion. We saw it live from GEJ and PYO. Their religion was irrelevant in their incompetence.

BAT is not MKO & MKO is not BAT!!!
Christians, go get your PVC and DO NOT vote for Tinubu.

The muslim North will NEVER support or tolerate a christian/christian presidential ticket, so why should the christian South/North accept this?
I hope christians who are not slaves make a clear statement with their votes rejecting Tinubu at the 2023 polls.

Foolish people like this man need to be taken as clowns!

Keep greeting o. While hunger & insecurity ravages you all!

This kind of selective justice and deliberate insensitivity is what will destroy Nigeria!

So your argument is for him to further divide Nigerians? By deepening the 2nd class citizen narrative the core north is bent on tagging the non-muslim as?!
Is winning an election more important than making a statement?
Is he willing to lose the votes of Christians across the south & some part if the north just to please a muslim block. He will even lose the votes of some liberal muslims in the south who will be disgusted by this insensitivity. It’s only traditionalists that I am not sure how they will take it.
Tinubu is no MKO. He will lose with a muslim/muslim ticket! Buhari had massive Northern muslim support but still lost serially. Tinubu will suffer the same fate with a muslim/muslim ticket!

meditator:
when it comes to politics, its beyond credibility. Its about who can garner votes. As it stands, no Christian in the entire North appeals to the Northerners and even Nigerians politically. If a picks a Christian, believe you me, he would loss the election even before the election day.

With what muslim extremist have meted out to non-muslims in recent past & jihadists/muslim terrorists invading forests in all regions?!
A muslim/muslim ticket will not only be callous and insensitive, it will be vehemently resisted.

Because it is in between those cleavages that lucifer resides.

Old, senile & clueless hypocrite!

If you people like, go & vote another fulani into power or vote muslim/muslim ticket o!
Una never see anything for that shithole called Nigeria.

Just get the details of whoever possesses the title to & name is on title to the land & ensure that person is the one whose name is registered at the ministry of lands / lands bureau. Once all that checks out, ensure you collect the original title document, survey and notarized receipt from the verified title holder. Also get a land sale agreement done for the purchase.
If any documentation doesn’t check out be cautious & ensure there is a verifiable documentation to clear the discrepancy.

The worst president Nigeria ever had the misfortune of getting.

It is clear that this government is complicit in the insecurity that plagues Nigeria!

Stop beating yourself up. Just be a responsible adult.
Support your parents who host you financially and start saving towards your desire to live alone.
If you are bent on moving out, you can start small.
Look for a single room apartment in a safe area of town and grow organically into a bigger apartment.
The problem with Nigerians is that the always want to start big.
I believe there are face-to-face apartments that cost as low as 5k a month in some areas of Lagos.

Baba werey, Oniro nla.

You are greedy & entitled. How old are you?
Once you get to 18yrs old, whatever you get from family and friends is a privilege and not an entitlement.
The tone of your write up even hints that your attitude to other people’s possessions & money may have made them treat you with disdain.
Focus your energy on being successful legitimately.
As a student, Stop being greedy and focusing at frivolities like how much is spent in club, cars they change and ‘latest’ phones used. You will fet all those and more when you become a successful medical doctor. Many of those you greedily envy now will be broke by then.

Failure44:
I'm in pains and so annoyed.
I can't even boast of 10k in my account,
I'm crippled with debts on loan apps
This ASUU strike has only made my life worse.
The useless man I call a father that earns half a million monthly, spends It on drinking. I vow to make that man suffer at old age and to bury him in a shallow grave.
What did I do in my past life to be born into a broken home?
Where both parents are like cat and dog.
While my mates were learning yahoo, I was reading like a fool preparing for school.
Now I have secured the so called medicine but am suffering in silence while they're buying cars.

Do you know how painful it is to see the same people you were with now buying cars and using the latest phone?
How painful it is to see them spraying money in the club while you're borrowing money from loan apps?
How painful it is too them those you helped now snub your messages?

Now I understand why people commit suicide

Even the nation of Israel believes in defending themselves with weapons in spite of God’s assurances to defend them!

This same woman will be the 1st to nag about how unfaithful men are. Believe that gender at your own expense!

Wicked woman. You are capable of this kind of evil. Most Nigerian women are scum! Gosh!

doggedfighter:
Not a big deal.



Any child that calls you father is your child.


It makes no difference at all !


What's the crying for ?

You know nothing about the law.
There is a criminal code against the use of Juju or witchcraft
Before displaying ignorance, please go read chapter 20 of the criminal code of Nigeria!

CHAPTER 20 – Ordeal, witchcraft, juju and criminal charms

Section 207 of the Nigerian Criminal Code Act

Unlawful trial by ordeal: prohibited juju

(1) The trial by the ordeal of sasswood, esere‐bean, or the poison, boiling oil, fire, immersion in
water or exposure to the attacks of crocodiles or other wild animals, or by any ordeal which is likely to
result in the death of or bodily injury to any party to the proceeding, is unlawful.
(2) The President or, as the case may be, the Governor of a State may by order prohibit the
worship or invocation of any juju which may appear to him to involve or tend towards the commission
of any crime or breach of peace, or to the spread of any infectious or contagious disease.

Loandbehold:
So what did the police arrest him for now? Using so called spiritual powers on the girl? What law is that?

The manipulative gender is at it again!
So we should believe you just because you said so? Do you have a medical report to prove that you are still a virgin? Can you release yourself to me to physically check if your hymen is still intact?
This gender learns manipulation at an early age! Believe them at your own detriment.
Those breasts look well touched!

The topic is so misleading. The writer never said his girlfriend is a virgin. He only hinted that she has chosen to be celibate til marriage. Nairaland should stop this kind of falsehood and headline sensationalism.

US protecting their own!
We know that like Abiola, Tinubu is a CIA operative!

Stupid hypocrites threaten.
Did OBJ threaten stupidly before he exposed the Fulani kleptomaniac? If you have anything on him, say it or remain silent forever! CORRUPT PARTY!!

Hypocrite! When herdsmen recently killed in the South East what did Igbos do?? Instead, they betrayed their brother Peter to support a fulani Atiku!

For you to think you know how poor people console themselves you must be part of them. I bet you think you are ‘rich’ oponu?

I don’t have to prove to you whether I am rich or not. But your response oozes poverty in material and thinking.

FYI, Uneducated buffoon, who thinks his/her valueless naira makes him/her rich, statistically, the number of Nigerians earning less than 60000NGN (100USD) a month alone makes generalizability apply.

What is the statistical number of your so called young entrepreneurs? How many of these entrepreneurs in Nigeria truly earn a honest living without paying bribes, underpaying & enslaving employees, selling fakes as originals, overinflating prices and participating in crass corruption through government patronage?

For you to even almost generalize and compare Nigerians and Nigeria to what happens in saner climes by writing ‘ The reality of Nigeria and virtually EVERY other nation is…’ makes me doubt your mental stability.
I am sure your psyche has been so abused over the years that you don’t even recognize backwardness when you see it and live in it.

People like you are the problem of that shithole country. You excuse the apparent madness going on there and do nothing about it. You most likely enable the fantastically corrupt system.

9jaRealist:
Poor people always console themselves with drivel like this…
So all those Almajiri must be “hardworking” while those young entrepreneurs are “lazy and evil”?!

The reality of Nigeria and virtually EVERY other nation is…
Many “honest and hardworking” people as well as many “crooked and evil” people succeed and fail.

Werey! What is beautiful about your shithole country?!
Where the honest, hardwrorking and God fearing struggle and suffer and the crooked, lazy and evil THRIVE in stupendous wealth?!

Tinubu will never rule this beautiful country
